Getting my morning dose ready this evening. Going to take 3g post workout on an empty stomach.
For others reference. A packed tsp, not rounded, packed and flush, was 2.3g.
Final Review:
Real fine and smooth grain. With enough stirring, mixes well enough in water. Drinking it tastes like you are eating a ground up tea. Very earthy.
Taking it by itself without potentiators, it is good. This is a quality kratom. I used another regular green from another company over a fee years ago, and this one from SUP is not only cheaper, you not only get more kratom, it was better kratom.
This kratom provided me with good mental focus, increased motivation, increased energy levels, and mild euphoria. I had gotten a virus or infection while taking the kratom, and this stuff is better than any over the counter medication in terms of taking away pain, and making you feel a lot better when you are sick. I need to order some more kratom if just for when I get sick, or have heavy DOMS and arthritic symptoms (I get that when storm systems come through). It does help inflammation pain. Not as much as the red Borneo, but well enough.
Kratom with caffiene. The head energy definitely increases. Especially when you take agmatine before, which I did. Kratom give you more energy, and is stronger when combined with caffiene and agmatine. It is best taken on an empty or near empty stomach.
I found I could enhance immediate effects by taking my vitamin b complex which included some magnesium.
I found that I could potentiate and make the experience more intense by taking my pre work dose, and then at work taking another dose a few hours later. It would be stronger than the first time. I did dose daily, and when you do that, you have to potentiate it, and you have to make sure you do not take many small doses through the day, as the next day you will be more tolerant.
Taking kratom with my preworkout for heavy leg day. Was a great leg day. Great energy levels, focus, motivation to push more weight. Kratom will not hinder your workout, but will increase your pain threshold; you will be able to lift more due to this.
Overall, this is a very good kratom. I would say morning/daytime blend. A good kratom to include with coffee and nootroptics to give you some work enhancement and motivation. This is also a good kratom to add to your preworkout. This is a good kratom to use in the daytime if you have a cold and still want to be productive.
How about withdrawal? Not too bad. Similar to a caffiene withdrawal. Withdrawal is different for everyone body. I handle it well. I had minor body aches. No issues with sleep. And this is going from moderate doses daily to cold Turkey. If someone were to taper off, they may experience less withdrawal sides. I'm a big boy, don't have anxiety or depression really, a good pain tolerance in general, so it wasn't that bad. Now when I had taken red, and 10g a night for a long time, that was worse. Won't dose irresponsibly like that with any vein kratom anymore.
If you treat this plant with respect, and can be a pretty nice tool in your arsenal.
Straight Up Kratom needs some more love guys, cause they provide some good stuff, and at a fair price.
